I have changed in GMT+2 to have the good one, but my screen became black. I had to press space to come back on the desktop but gxine (playing James Brown) was became mute. I had to go to Puppy Volume Mixer to make changes.

Check /etc/localtime -- it should be a link to /usr/share/zoneinfo/London
-- right?

If that's right, what else could be wrong... what about the hardware clock on your PC? That is supposed to be set to the local time. This will read the hardware clock:
# hwclock -r

...does that agree with the time in the taskbar?

In London, you are on GMT+0, but are you on daylight saving?
If you are not, try relinking :
# ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/GMT-0 /etc/localtime
#hwclock --localtime --hctosys
...because maybe /usr/share/zoneinfo/London is wrong.

Are you on Paris time?
How did you change the GMT+1 to GMT+2? ...I mean, what did you change?

That was me. But just putting the raw kernel source doesn't work. Tried compiling a driver, it complained "ERROR: Kernel configuration is invalid." so I ran make oldconfig && make prepare on the kernel source and tried again. This time most of it built, but then it couldn't find /usr/src/linux-2.6.21.5/Module.symvers becuase that hasn't been built. Guess I can build the kernel.

kirk, okay, thanks for doing that last time. It looks like we will need a sfs with some basic extra stuff in it, like that Module.symvers and System.map. Perhaps what you have done as quoted above, is enough and I just have to send those files. Attached:

I rebuilt the 217 kernel and using the /usr/src/ from the 2.16 devx file as a template, made a new kernel source sfs file. Tested it out by building some wifi drivers. I'll upload it somewhere. It's 52MB.

I've never got them to build. It's a part binary driver made for kernel 2.6.5. The one I had hoped would work for 2.6.21.5 was from here:

http://rtl-wifi.sourceforge.net/wiki/Main_Page

This one builds fine on both 2.16 and 2.17. But when I load the modules it complains about bad symbols and the card doesn't work. They have a forum, I'll do some searching. I uploaded the 217 kernel source sfs file to puppyisos.org and sent Mark a PM.

Yes i am in Paris time (GMT +1). Using timezone-set i changed in GMT +2 (Athenes time to have the good time)._________________Toutou Linux - Pets francisés

Barry, on the time zones you have USA eastern, central and pacific, but there is no USA-mountain zone.

You do have USA-Arizona, which is a state in the mountain time zone. However it is the only state in the mountain zone that does NOT observe daylight savings time. It turns out the time you have for Arizona is now valid in Wyoming, that is, what you have for Arizona IS the same as mountain zone daylight savings time. So it's valid everywhere but Arizona.

Just to make it interesting, the Navajo Nation in NE Arizona DOES observe daylight savings time. But I'm guessing there aren't too many Navajos using Puppy, so maybe it's not important.

hwclock -r yields the same time as I see displayed on the task bar (I'm using USA-Arizona).

Is your new time setup supposed to automatically switch between daylight savings time and standard time? Probably not, that would be awfully complex...

In 2.16.1 right-clicking or left-clicking on the taskbar clock launches the ical calendar. I haven't rebooted to check what it does in 2.17 but it might be a good idea for a right-click to go to a routine to set the time...
